Community Meeting Review For the community meeting review I decided to sit in on court proceedings. I chose the court proceedings because I know they go through a lot of cases every day, therefore I thought it would give me more opportunities to understand how things work. I spent close to four hours in the Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino, Victorville District. More specifically I sat in department V10, which is a criminal court. I am not sure if the courthouse is busy…

On the day of Friday October 21st, 2016, at the scene of Mays Landing Court House inside the Criminal Division court room, the Honorable Judge Damon G. Tyner, JSC presided. Throughout the day Judge Tyner observed both sentencing as well as motion cases. Before arriving to the court house I reflected on my expectations; I was expecting to see this large courtroom with ten to twelve rows and massive windows. I expected to hear no talking while the Judge spoke, I also expected most to be dressed…

He presented himself as the strap up your boots and make it happen type of man (but he wouldn’t actually be wearing boots, of course, more…

DHS became involved with the family after the mother tested positive for meth after delivering the youngest child; Candance has a history of drug use. The reporter is concerned because Ms. Gunnell allows Candance to have unsupervised visits with the children whenever she wants to work or she's tired. Whenever Candance gets the children, she leaves them with different people and…

After watching interviews with former governors and former presidents reminds me of how the government behaves. In analyzing them, I noticed in the interview with former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Russian President Vladimir Putin and former US president Bin Clinton, the differences that have within style and…

We analyzed the media freedom indexes of Freedom House and Reporters Without Borders to determine which areas they focus on and which they omit. We also assessed the degree to which these indexes are appropriate for measuring media freedom in democratic countries. We concluded that these instruments –with their focus on violence against journalists and government constraints on media– are more appropriate for assessments in non-democratic countries than for understanding the subtle problems of…
